What is FlexReview

FlexReview is a code review platform focusing on teams. With GitHub CODEOWNERS, you can define which user or team should approve a PR. FlexReview pushes this forward more and makes code review team work rather than a mere personal activity.

FlexReview consists of following components:

• Define recursive ownership

  • GitHub CODEOWNERSsemantics is not expressive enough to capture the actual shape of code ownership. FlexReview provides an alternative way for defining an ownership.

• Review assignment focusing on teams

  • Each team can choose an assignment strategy from code expertise, review load, or oncall rotations.

  • When a PR spans multiple teams, it finds a common parent owner and minimizes number of reviewers.

• Notifications and automations for the code review

  • Slack notification can be sent to team's channel when there's new PR for your team.

  • Reviewer can be auto-reassigned when there's no reply.

• SLO goal for code review

  • Teams can define the expected size of the PRs and review turnaround time.

  • Dashboard shows how many PRs are within the review-time SLO.

• Team dashboard for incoming PRs

  • Members can see the PRs that modify their owned files.
